Is Your Data Reliable?

Successful program management rests on complete confidence in the accuracy and reliability of the underlying data. This is essential for business executives, program managers and project teams to make the right decisions at the right time. Five points to keep in mind:

1. Data must be maintained and updated regularly.
2. Focus on quality data rather than quantity.
3. Information must be complete, auditable and accessible to the right people.
4. Data security is critical.
5. Exception reports should be used to ensure accuracy of data.  

Are You Managing Your Risks?

Do you have a comprehensive view of all of the risks in your program? Anyone undertaking a risky or important venture should ask six simple questions:

• Do you have a defined relationship between issues and risks?
• Do you have consistent processes to measure and monitor risks?
• Do you know what to do if an issue arises?
• Do you ensure every risk is actioned?
• Do you ensure everyone who needs to know about a risk knows?
• Do you have a system to track lessons learnt?

CapexPRO totally integrates Issues, Changes and Risks across the entire program. Learn more
